mam-msasme when Be it known that I, Moses M. MAaonsn, a citizen of the United States, and resident of the borough of Manhattan, in the city and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Liquid- Dispensing Devices, of which the following is a speci cation.

This invention relates to certain improvements in the 'construction, form and arrangement of the several parts of a liquid dispensin device which is particularly well adapted or dispensing liquid soap or other liquid cleansing or antiseptic substance, into the hands of the'person using the same.

This invention includes a. novel construction and arrangement of the liquid ejecting plunger for the dispensing vessel.

In the accompanying drawin s, Figure 1 is a top plan view of the liqui dispensing device, Fig. 2 is a front view of the same, Fig. 3 is a side view, the vessel being shown in an inverted position in dotted lines, Rig.

4 is a detail section'showmg the concealing screw for fastening the meeting ends of the vessel supporting band together, Fig. 5 is a vertical central section through the device, Fig. 6 is a partial side view portions of the pgrts being broken away and the special tool ing shown in connection therewith in position for removing the dispensing nozzle Fig. 7 is a viewpartly inside elevation and partly in section, showing the vessel in its inverted position, and Fig. 8 is an inverted plan view. partly in section, of the special tool used in connection with the device.

The bracketfor supporting the liquid dispensin vessel compr1ses a post 1, its base 2 and ead 3, from which head extend the bracket arms 4 and 5. These bracket arms ma occupy any desired angular position wit respect to the est 1. n the present instance, the post is s own as extended horizontally and the arms as depending vertically therefrom. i

The vessel 6 map be made of any desired sha e and material, preferably approxim 1 globular and of glass. The upper continuous bead 7 and the lower interru ted bead 8 surround the vessel 6, between w ich beads is located the split supporting band 9 which embracesthe vessel 6. 'Themeeting ends of this band 9 are rovided with ears 10, 11, alined ho es 12, 13, in whleh PMMM letter latent. Application fllld January I 1911. 8o. M11147;

is located a concealed screw 14 for fastenmg the ends of the band together snugly around the vessel 6; At the front of the vessel, the band 9 is rovided with a tilting handlel formed in l therewith. This support ng band 9 is further provided at its s1 es wlth pivots 16, 17, formed integral therewith, which pivots are forced into suitable sockets in the ends of the bracket arms 4, 5, for noting the vessel to the said bracket. 'f band 9 is provided with a disk segment 18 formed integral therewith, which segment forms a stop for limiting the tilting movement of the vessel.

Means are provided for tilting the vessel by the foot, if so desired, as follows: The dlsk segment 18 is provided with a In 19, to which one end of a link 20 is pivote the other end of which link is attached to the upper end of a wire, chain, rod or other connection 21, the lower end of which is attached to a foot treadle 22. A spring 23 serves to hold the foot treadle 22 in its raised position, and where the connection 21 is a rod, this spring 23 also serves to remove the weight of the rod 21 and link 20 from the vessel 6.

The mouth 24 of the vessel 6, is closed by a cap 25 permanently secured around the outer wall of said mouth. This cap 25 is providedwith an interiorly screw-threaded lug 26, into which is screwed the dispensing nozzle 28. The liquid e'ecting plunger 27, 27 is mounted upon a -shaped wire ide 29, 29* in position to enter the nozz e 28 when the vessel is inverted, for discharging the liquid from within said nozzle. In the present instance, the wire guide has the upper end of its longer branch 29 soldered or otherwise secured to the cap 25 and its shorter branch 29" extended upwardly into the interior of the plunger 27. One method of attaching the plunger to the guide so that the plunger will be attached thereto against removal, is to divide the plunger into two so arable members, the lower member 27" being first laced onto the branch 29* of the guide, ai ter which a ball 29* is screwed or otherwise secured to the upper end of the branch 29". The upper member 27 of the plunger is then secured to the lower member. The hole at the bottom of the ipner member 27 is smaller than the bore-m Patented Sept. 23, 1913.

he pivot 17 at one side of the i This insures the accurate ,ejectment of the' unscrewing of the nozzle 28 by an ordinary 55 for use in connection with -the liquid displun er and smaller thanlthe ball 29,

.so that t e plunger may have a free sliding movement-without danger of becoming de-' the vessel.

An air vent liquid even when there is very littleleftin tube 31 extends; inwardly from the cap 25, through themouth 24, into the interior of the vessel 6, for insuring a of the liquid when the ves-.

freer dispensing sel is inverted. I

Means are provided, forlocking the vessel against being tilted, which means comprisea concealed screw 32 in the head ,3 of the post 1 of the bracket, the point-of which screw isarranged to enter the discharge opening 30 of the dispensing nozzle 28.

-Means are provided for preventing the tool," which means comprises a sleeve 33.sur

- rounding the exposed portion of the .nozzle 28, said sleeve being held in-position on the shank of the nozzle by a nut 34 having a shouldered engagement. with the sleeve and a screw-threaded engagement with-the said shank, said nut being interposed between said sleeve and shank. The arrangementof the parts is such that the sleeve/33 is held in such a position that it may freely rotate around said nozzle .without turning the noz-; zle, and the diameter of the-sleeveis slightly.

greater than the diameter of the head of the nozzle, so as to-prevent the grasping of the nozzle by a wrench or other ordinary tool.

Means are provided for concealing the screws 35 which fasten the base 2 of the post 1 of the bracket to the wall or other sup port, which means comprises a disk 36 and 4 v a-collar- 37 slidably mounted on the post 1.

A. concealed screw 38 engages the collar 37 and post 1 for locking the collar and disk in their protective posltion. To insure the screw holes in the collar 37 and 0st 1 being brought into alinement for the introduction of. the screw-88, the collar 37 is provided with a centering pin 39 which enters a hole in the face of the base 2.

. series of special-tools may be provided pensing device, but in the present instance a special tool, illustrated in Figs. 6 and 7, is provided, which tool'has a; socket wrench 40 at one end .arranged to .tur'n'the screws 32 and-'38, and a screw-driver 41 at'its other end arranged to turn the screw 14. This tool is further provided with a socket 42 intermediate its ends, which socket is prowith spanner lugs 43, 44, arranged to imas ee enter the discharge opening 30 and the span- .nerhole 45, respectively, in the head 0 the nozzle.- 1
